Overview
- The joint venture of BKM Capital Partners and Kayne Anderson closed the purchase of an 8.5 million-square-foot, 51-property multi-tenant light-industrial portfolio from Link Logistics for about $1.8 billion.
- The portfolio is roughly 90% leased and comprises nearly 2,000 units across 275 buildings concentrated in infill coastal and Sun Belt markets, with 3.1 million square feet in Southern California.
- The deal expands the JV’s holdings to about 15 million square feet and is BKM’s largest platform addition to date.
- Buyers plan an operational value-add program that targets exterior work, roof and HVAC improvements, market-ready fit-outs for vacant space and selective reductions in office buildout to boost cash flow.
- The transaction, announced Wednesday, reflects growing institutional appetite for small-bay, multi-tenant industrial assets on the back of stronger 2026 small-bay fundamentals and lower vacancy versus larger distribution buildings.
